Golden Gate Park

We joined Alyssa and her parents last weekend at Golden Gate Park for a picnic. The weather was awesome and we had so much fun running around on the grass, playing "catch," and riding in Alyssa's wagon.

Alyssa: "That's my Mommy!"
Me: "That's my Mommy!"

Playdates

I've had a very busy social life lately. Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy's old friends from Wilshire came over. I love showing off my toys whenever people come to our house.

Making play-doh shapes with Matty. At one point we both ended up crying over the star shaped cookie cutter we both wanted to use. Other than that, we got along great. :)

Christopher and Nathan

I got to introduce them all to Brady.

We also met up with Kira, Kyla, and Olivia at Laurelwood Park. I was pretty antisocial though, since we brought my tricycle, and all I wanted to do was ride it up and down the pathway.

We've been trying to take Brady with us wherever we go, especially to parks. He's always a huge hit with all the kids.

First Dentist Visit

I finally had my first visit to the dentist. It was very exciting and more fun than I would have imagined (it helps that I have a fascination with doctors, and Mommy told me I was going to see the "tooth doctor").

When it was my turn, I got to pick out a new toothbrush and show the nice lady how I brush my teeth. They played a Dora movie for me on the flat screen tv on the ceiling, but I refused to lay down in the long chair. Instead I sat in a chair next to Mommy. Then, we met with the "doctor." Since I was a new patient, Mommy got a long introductory lecture on how germs feed on the sugars in my mouth and cause cavities, how I should limit snacking and drink water after every meal, blah blah blah. Finally, he started to inspect my teeth. I was so fascinated and curious with what he was doing that I sat still and did everything he asked. He counted my teeth, poked them with this spiky thing, then polished them with this spinning toothbrush. He even did this cool trick with the spinning brush - he touched it to each of my fingers and made them spin. It totally made me giggle. He then flossed and put a coat of fluoride on my teeth.

I was such a good girl during the teeth cleaning. Afterward, I got to pick two prizes from the treasure chest. Now every night when Mommy brushes my teeth and asks if I want to see the dentist again, I reply with an enthusiastic "yes!"

Brady's Playdate

I've been posting lots of videos lately. My iPhone is so full that it's no longer being backed up, so time to unload all the videos onto this blog.

Brady's brother Cobie came over for a playdate earlier this week. Kaitlyn was a little confused when she came home and saw two puppies in the house, but she quickly embraced it. Between the three of them, I don't know if our backyard could handle any more cuteness!

Ryder Park

We spent a Sunday afternoon at Ryder Park in San Mateo. I had told Mommy that I wanted to build sandcastles. I never want to play in the sand, so this was a surprise. Must be that Dora at the beach episode that I've been watching over and over.

Auntie Vicki, Uncle Gonzo and Wylie joined us too, and we got to meet baby Lidia. She is so tiny!

Brady had the most fun though, and dug this big hole in the sand.

Not a bad way to end the weekend.

Hop n' Play

There's this indoor playground called Hop n' Play that we always walk past whenever we go to the San Bruno Target. It always looks like a zoo inside with kids running around everywhere, so every time I ask to go in, Mommy tells me "next time." Finally, one Saturday morning, Mommy and I passed by and it looked pretty empty. I only had to ask a few times before Mommy caved and said yes.

It was pretty awesome. There were swings, a bounce house, small rides, and a slide. The best part though was this one section filled with balloons. There were fans blasting from the ceiling and balloons were flying everywhere!

Farmer in the Dell

Kaitlyn learned the song Farmer in the Dell at daycare. One afternoon she would not stop singing it over and over.

And over and over...

This went on for a good half hour. I like how she replaces the words "heigh ho the derry-o" with "I like the derry-o."

By the way, K loves watching videos of herself on my iPhone and every time I show her these, she breaks out into this huge grin, and then starts performing her song and dance all over again. Silly little girl.
